How does the 'Pick a name out of a hat' tool work?

Our tool utilizes a random number generator (RNG) to simulate the process of picking a name out of a hat. You provide a list of names, and the tool randomly selects one from that list. This ensures a fair and unbiased selection process.

Can I use this tool for any type of selection, not just names?

Absolutely! While designed for names, this tool can be used for any list of items you need to choose from randomly. Just input your list, and the tool will select one item at random.

Is there a limit to the number of names I can enter?

While there isn't a strict limit, we recommend keeping the list to a reasonable size for optimal performance and display. Large lists might take slightly longer to process.

Is the selection process truly random?

Yes, we use a robust random number generator to ensure that each name in your list has an equal chance of being selected. This guarantees a fair and unbiased outcome.

Can I save the list of names I entered for future use?

Currently, the tool doesn't support saving lists directly. However, you can easily copy and paste your list into a document or spreadsheet for future use and re-enter it when needed.
